The online payment feature of Techcombank credit cards owned by those involved in the data breach at Vietnam Airlines has therefore been disabled for safety’s sake, according to the lender. However, the self-service check-in machines of Vietnam Airlines were all out of order. Participating 3D Secure retailers' websites are identified with the logos of MasterCard and Visa, indicating that they can use these credit cards safely there. VietinBank credit card holders who had used their cards in transactions with Vietnam Airlines have also had the online payment feature disabled for the same reason. An alleged group of Chinese hackers compromised the Vietnam Airlines system on Friday, stealing information from some 410,000 VIP member accounts of the carrier’s Lotusmiles program.
